Salmon Rosti (a fishy potato hashbrown)

Rosti is a Swiss type of potato cake made from coarsely grated potato. And, winter is a nice time to grab a can of salmon and make up something warm and tasty. There’s nothing like fish fresh from the pantry when its too cold to go out to the fresh fish shop. Combine these two ideas and you get Salmon Rosti… and how about a little dill sauce.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Fill a 1-cup measure two-thirds full with the salmon mixture and firmly pack it down. Unmold into the pan and pat to form a 3-inch cake. Repeat, making 3 more cakes. Cover and cook until browned on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Gently turn over and cook, covered, until crispy on the other side, 3 to 5 minutes more. Transfer the cakes to a baking dish; keep warm in the oven. Wipe out the skillet and cook 4 more cakes with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the remaining salmon mixture.

Combine sour cream, capers, lemon juice and the remaining dill in a small bowl. Serve the salmon cakes with the dill sauce.
